It's a little bit funny... May 26, 2022

 

I love that Elton John song - always have.  It reminds me of Tiffany though I would never forget her eye color (she's my blue eyed beauty).  I just can't believe how much I love her and how much this has made me realize exactly the love she has for me.  It is too bad it takes something like this to deepen our love.

I still am coming to terms with what shrinking tumors mean and I am trying not to get to excited as I have a long way to go, but I will take the progress.  The chemo is really starting to get to me.  Flushed face (as you can see from the picture) makes me feel like I have a sunburn on my face all the time.  My eyes are running like crazy as well.  All in all, I have been lucky with the side effects.  My stubbornness helps.

I told another friend yesterday as I feel it was time to spread the news and I have felt guilty not telling anyone other than Jamie.  I just wanted them to understand when we were wearing masks and trying to be normal.  I don't need sympathy, I need strength.

Speaking of strength, I got up late and need food.

I love you all!

Feelings, nothing more than feelings... November 19. 2024

  I really have to get more sweatshirts.  In a couple of days we will be heading back into NYC to get my liver ablated, again.  This is the 3rd time.  3rd times a charm?  I am not sure how I feel.  I spent all day Sunday getting things done outside so I still can burst some energy out, but it leaves me exhausted.  I don't have the energy I had just a few months. I have started another blog, but public - I am not sure why I am driven to do these things.  I have always been an introvert with a need for attention I guess (it's strange, I know). Well, I don't have a lot to say this morning outside of the fact that I am beginning to realize that I spent way too much time in my life thinking about me and it is sad that it has taken me this long to realize that life is about everyone else. I love you all!

 Tiffany is amazing!  I know that she doesn't feel well as she has an infection in her kidney due to her stones.  She continues to take care of me regardless.  In the morning, I am generally able to get around without issue (except for the pain in my side), but by afternoon I am generally really tired.  More tired than you should be from just sitting around.  Eating zaps every bit of strength out of me for some reason leaving me extremely lightheaded.  I try to hide how bad I am feeling after eating as I know it upsets her. I have a lot of hope about upcoming treatment.  I expect to start on chemo as everything I read suggests they won't go after the tumors in my liver via surgery.  What I fear is that if the chemo doesn't slow the progression of the liver metastatic disease that I will get real sick in the coming year.  I had an ultrasound a year ago that didn't show any lesions on the liver and a year later I have several.  Hopefu...

Hello, how are you? Have you been alright through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely nights?... November 21, 2024

  Well, finally in NYC for the liver ablation (this afternoon).  Once again, I am hoping for 3rd times a charm.  I wonder if we started this liver ablation sooner when the pump was still able to deliver chemo if it would have had better results.  I suppose the fact that I am still kicking is still good results. Tiffany and I upgraded to the penthouse in our hotel.  I know smell us, right?  It would be nice if it was higher in the air, but it is still a pretty big room.  Well it isn't really a room, it is an entry, living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, so it's a condo.  I could live here.  Hell, it is way bigger than my apartment in Hawaii. I wish we had more time to enjoy the city.  We come up here for an appointment or a procedure and then right back to Erin.  I have been out of vacation time at work for months so this is all time off without pay.   Our world does not favor the sick.  Honestly what nat...
